The United States insults the will of Haitians and Haiti sovereignty in appointing Merten as its top diplomat to the country. The U.S. government does not care about Haitian democracy and U.S. political strategists have no intention of helping Haitians fight corruption, homegrown terrorists and abject poverty. With Merteen in Haiti, the United States will select the next president and the Prime Minister, just as they did in 2011 and 2016.
